"THE BERENSTAIN BEARS - HOW TO GET ALONG WITH YOUR FELLOW BEAR" - 1982 Kid Stuff Records Read-Along

Here's another incredibly short Kid Stuff Read-Along, which is less like a story and more like a series of lessons in manners.

"The Berenstain Bears: How To Get Along With Your Fellow Bear" is along the lines of the "Raggedy Ann & Andy" Christmas Read-Along in terms of tone and quality. In fact, it features the same narrator as both that record and "The Care Bears Help Out", so be prepared for even more sugary-sweet voice work!

While the overall message of the record is commendable: be nice to others, share, be helpful, etc. some of its wording wouldn't fit well in today's social climate. I mean, should you really force yourself to smile and/or be nice to someone who is continually mean to you?

Also, aside from the usage of "bear" in place of "man" or "person" is really the only thing tying this Read-Along to the "Berenstain Bears" IP; this script could've been tweaked and used for pretty much any other character.

It's also incredibly short, clocking in at just a little over 5 minutes.

The message means well, and the record is pretty rare... but it's only for die-hard "Bears" fans.
